Beginning
Monday, July 12, nineteen incoming students will take part in a four-week
TRIO/SSS Summer Bridge Program.

The Summer
Bridge Program meets weekday mornings mid-July to mid-August and includes
college courses with academic support seminars.

This year,
students will complete 2 college credit courses – GST
140: Introduction to Liberal Arts and REL 100: Christian Vocation
and the Search for Meaning.

Summer Bridge
is FREE of charge to students. In addition to the college
courses, Summer Bridge students attend a Supplemental Instruction
course, workshops about Augsburg College and college life, as well
as social
and cultural activities.

The SSS
program is one of three TRIO programs originally funded under the Higher
Education Act of 1965 whose objective
is to help
students
overcome class, social and cultural barriers to complete their
college education. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education,
the SSS program
is committed to helping low-income, first-generation college
students and students with disabilities achieve a bachelor's degree.
